Professor of English and Director of Literature, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis; author, Women at the Front: Female Hospital Workers in Civil War America (UNC Press, 2004; Honorable Mention for the 2005 Lincoln Prize) and Blood, Lead, and Ink: A Concise History of Civil War Medicine (Praeger, forthcoming)

Jane Schultz is arguably the nation's leading expert on Civil War nursing, whose articles and book, Women at the Front, have had a profound effect on how scholars-including literary critics and historians-have viewed women's contributions to the American Civil War. First-person accounts of northern women nurses (and of northern women in general) during the Civil War remain rare-and so it is a pleasure to see that Schultz has produced this carefully edited and beautifully written volume documenting Harriet Eaton's nursing. This is a great discovery and a significant contribution to Civil War literature
